We acknowledge the Mouheneener People, the traditional custodians of this land on which we gather for worship.
This church seeks to be a place of safety and acceptance for all people.
John 17: 1-19 Do you ever feel like you don’t belong? Do you ever feel like nobody gets you with your obsession with Jesus? Are people perplexed by your apparent indifference to the rat-race of accumulating position, possession and popularity? If you do, I sug-gest that your Christian walk is going well. We are in the world but clearly our pur-pose is not primarily of it. Jesus has drawn us to himself through his selfless love and here, in the last night before he is betrayed, we hear his prayer for the disci-ples, and the disciple’s disciples and… their disciples who, are, well.., us! So here are the words of the Word who has placed the Word within his followers. Jesus’ prayer for us.., His church. He is leaving them but not alone. He does not so much pray for them, but he prays in them, in us, joy. A joy that is complete, transcendent and ultimately eternal. He knows the trials you will face in your walk but he knows also that as you go west whilst your friends go east, your purpose, consolation, reward and destiny is home. You don’t belong here, but you must be here so that others who also don’t belong may also find their way home. And the Father Son and Holy Spir-it walk with you. I find a lot of comfort in that. Rev. Michael Duke
